Hope that Christmas Lights will return to Dundalk

03 December 2015

Councillors have expressed hope that officials can help find a solution that will see the return of Christmas Lights to the centre of Dundalk.
Cllr. Kevin Meenan raised the absence of the festive lighting on the town's main streets, at the municipal district's monthly meeting yesterday evening.
The councillors heard that the various traders groups involved have been offered a subvention by Louth County Council - which also pays for the electricity costs involved.
The offer's been accepted by some but was rejected by others.
The councillors were told Chief Executive Joan Martin - who has met the President of the Chamber of Commerce and Chair of Dundalk BIDS to discuss the issue, would still like to have the lights erected THIS year.
Cllr. Meenan says he hopes agreement can be reached for that to happen.
